But this multi-viewpoint robot camera system can film dynamically moving sports, or subjects at lots of locations in an extensive space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Each robot camera has two motors, for pan and tilt. The cameras also share lens data, so they can zoom in unison.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pictures taken with robot cameras inevitably have discrepancies in direction control. So simply switching between them doesn&#8217;t give smooth pictures. To solve that problem, we&#8217;ve brought in a computer, which redoes the direction control virtually. Image processing is done, to virtually orient the cameras in the direction of the subject, making it possible to switch between the cameras.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pictures from this system can be sent out about one minute after filming is finished. First of all, we intend to use this for live sports broadcasting. We&#8217;d like to make it easy to understand what&#8217;s happening, by providing multi-viewpoint pictures instead of the current slow-motion replay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This multi-viewpoint robotic camera system can also be used as an image capture system for integral 3D TV, under development by NHK. By generating integral 3D video from multiple-viewpoint footage, 3D video of sports events will be viewable on integral 3D TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This multi-viewpoint robotic camera system, under development by NHK, links the motion of eight sub-cameras to that of an individual camera, so that all the cameras film the same moving object. &#8220;Using this system, you can create the effect of stopping time, and moving the viewpoint all around the subject.&#8221; &#8220;Previous methods used a fixed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,20,25,18],"tags":[42,43,44],"class_list":["post-564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-animation","category-kelsey-media","category-technology","category-video","tag-kelsey-media-productions","tag-new-3d-technology","tag-robotic-camera-system"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":570,"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564\/revisions\/570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kelseypro.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
